GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: The Unquestionable Appeal of Racing Games

We’re moving straight into the goodies this week as this week’s headline is actually a full-length segment that may very well return at some point later in the year with yet another look into what makes a racing game attractive. It’s a question that isn’t as easily answered as you might think, and I know you’re sitting there shouting out answers.

GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: Build Your Own Porsche!

It’s a little funny to me that this week’s Rewind is being presented – the opening act, if you will – by an already prominent staple of the article itself; however, the community here is the central focus of the Rewind, and anything that makes the lives of the many easier will be showcased here.

GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: It All Begins Again

The inaugural race weekend of the 2014 Formula One season is finally here, and while I maintain a gross of reservations regarding the new engine formula and some of the new/amended rulings, it’s a level of excitement that I couldn’t feign if I honestly tried to.

Non-Racing Cars Featured in Latest GT5 Seasonal Events

GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: The Benchmark of the Fifth Generation

Twelve days are all that stands between me and the beginning of the 2014 Formula One season, and I’ve kept myself oblivious to most of what has already been unveiled because, well, to be perfectly honest it’s rather confusing. For example, gone are the days of teams preserving their tires throughout the final qualifying session, because now the drivers that get through to Q3 will start the race on the tires used to set their fastest lap times in Q2, should they choose to not run Q3.

GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: To Save the Day

We’ve been down this road many times in the past and I’m sure many of you know, at least by now, that I’m a photomode junkie. The photomode efforts present in Gran Turismo, and by extension, the efforts present in our very own Photomode Forum for GT6 are quickly becoming a cornerstone of GTPlanet.

GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: The 1.5 Million Dollar Question

The community here at GTPlanet has been as active as ever, if you haven’t taken notice by now, we have a new GT Suggestions forum where you can let your imagination run wild and list your suggestions that you firmly believe would make Gran Turismo the game of your dreams – whether it be with additional vehicles, tracks, or features. There’s plenty of activity already so I’ll take a moment to list off some of my favorites:

GTPlanet Weekly Rewind: For All the World to See

It seems that with every new month—some could even say every new week—we’re playing the waiting game until the next big thing comes to Gran Turismo 6, and the aspect itself may have inadvertently become a game within a game to some; being on the lookout for the newest feature or improvement that will further the overall enjoyment of the game itself. It’s devilishly clever and often results in a think-tank of untold proportions.

American Sports Cars Featured in Latest GT5 Time & Drift Trials

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring a series of two racing events exclusive to American sports cars with no more than 550PP and no better than Sports/Hard compounds or less for this week’s time trial, and Comfort/Soft compounds for this week’s drift trial.
